Senior Citizens and disabled persons will soon enjoy a modern facility incorporated with a new park in Lami.
This comes after the Ministry of Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation held a meeting with Lami Town Council.
Lami Town Council Special Administrator Jasper Singh says the facility will be built through extending the Tikaram park which is currently located in Lami.
Singh says the council has received a positive support from its stakeholders into developing this park which will have a modern look yet maintain the traditional Fijian architecture designs as well.
He says it will house the recreational facilities like an outdoor cinema, barbecue area, water fountains, benches, car parks, solar street lights, with the possibility of having free wi-fi internet access in the park.
Minister Rosy Akbar acknowledged the Lami Town Council for coming up with this plan to develop such a unique facility for the senior citizens.
The construction work is expected to start next month and the plan is to have the new park ready by Christmas this year.
